Is College really that worth it? Balancing practice with school is pretty hard, plus managing my Youtube channel too

I was thinking I could follow in the footsteps of competitive eater Matt Stonie, but in running.

Do you do anything else on the side, or is this your full-time job?
Matt Stonie: Iâ€™ve made it my full-time job. I was in college before, but trying to balance hot dog practices with school was pretty hard. I do professional contests and I also manage my YouTube channel where I post videos weekly. Between those two things, Iâ€™m kept pretty busy.

I'm just like him. I have practices that don't balance with school, which is pretty hard (I'm majoring in foreign Asian Oriental filmography). Particularly I'm making weekly running videos for my Youtube channel viewers. That Japanese eating chick with 2 million YouTube subscribers didn't go to college either I don't think. Is it because it's not a NCAA scholarship sport in USA? But doesn't all that "scholarship" just get in the way of running practice and Youtube managing?

It's a real conundrum for me, quite a dilemma.

You can live w/o running, but you can't live without eating.

And many today cannot live without Youtube and LRC.

So don't try to blame this on NCAA, they are only following Obama's education department.

No one will take you seriously but don't let them fool you. There is a boat load of money to be made in youtube if you are willing to make it a full time job

0/10

A pitiful effort into which you sadly invested a decent amount of time.

Thanks! As you can see, I wan't to be as popular as Kinoshita, but with running videos. I did my semester project on her last time!

It would be great if some successful Youtube running guy like jamin would chime it and mentor you.

If you don't put your ear to the ground, you'll never hear the buffalo coming.

Stonie's completely washed up. Only ate 23.25 pounds of poutine. First time he's finished as low as 3rd since Hooters wings in July 2014.

Should have stuck with college.

I know this isn't a serious post, but my brother - who did graduate from college- is 4 years removed from college and making anywhere from 12-23k/month from his you tube channel. He works constantly in order to maintain his content. He is a one man show- handles all his own travel, filming, editing, social media, etc. The more the channel grows, the more stressful his life has become. However, there is definitely money to be made on you tube if you have the right idea, are willing to give up your personal life to pursue it, & are able to mentally handle both the stalker fans & the trolls.

Maybe you should start by majoring in something you can actually use after college.
